New Cross gardens often need clever planning to balance entertaining space with greenery. We create tailored layouts for homeowners near New Cross station and around SE14, whether you want a dining patio, a family lawn, or a low-maintenance courtyard. Our team can integrate planting, fencing and lighting so the garden works day and night. The result is a cohesive outdoor room that suits your lifestyle.
Many properties in the New Cross area are Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and converted flats, which can mean narrow plots, changes in level and overlooked boundaries. We’re used to designing privacy-friendly gardens for homes near Deptford and Brockley, using screens, trellis and layered planting. Where space is tight, we favour built-in seating, raised beds and slimline storage. Every design is scaled to the property and how you live in it.
Our process starts with a site visit, measured survey and a clear design proposal with material options. We handle groundworks, drainage, paving, joinery and electrics for garden lighting, keeping the site safe and tidy throughout. You’ll get a written schedule, transparent scope, and a dedicated point of contact from start to finish. Homeowners choose us for reliable workmanship, premium materials and a finish that lasts.
Gardens around New Cross and Deptford often have restricted access through terraces and side returns, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and staging carefully. Ground conditions can vary, and we assess levels and drainage before laying patios or lawns. We also consider boundary lines, overlooking and noise, which matters near busy routes and student areas. Where approvals are needed, we work with London Borough of Lewisham guidance and keep paperwork straightforward.

Costs vary with size, access and specification. As a guide, a small refresh (turf, planting, minor paving) is often £2,500–£6,000. A mid-size redesign with patio, fencing and lighting commonly falls between £8,000–£20,000. Full transformations with decking, structures, drainage upgrades and premium stone can be £20,000–£45,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site survey in SE14.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks once work begins. A simple patio or lawn installation may be completed in 3–7 days, while a full rebuild with drainage, fencing, decking, lighting and planting typically needs 2–4 weeks. Timescales depend on access through terraced homes, ground conditions, curing times for concrete, and lead times for bespoke structures. We agree a schedule before starting and keep you updated daily.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, including patios, decking at appropriate heights, fencing within limits, and most planting and lawns. However, rules can change if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if structures exceed certain sizes or heights. Drainage and surface water requirements can also apply. We flag any likely issues during the survey, advise on Lewisham guidance, and can help you gather the right approvals if needed.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on qualifying landscaping installations, covering issues arising from our build such as laying, jointing and structural integrity where applicable. Manufacturer warranties also apply to many products, including paving, composite decking, lighting and pumps for water features. Planting is living material, so guarantees vary by season and aftercare, but we provide clear maintenance guidance to help everything establish properly.
Homeowners often choose porcelain or sandstone patios for clean, durable entertaining space, plus composite or hardwood decking for warmer texture. For boundaries, closeboard fencing, slatted screens and trellis with climbers are popular for privacy. Planting schemes range from architectural evergreens to pollinator-friendly perennials, and we can add low-glare LED path lights or uplighters. We’ll guide you through samples and a layout that suits your property and budget.
